You probably heard the same thing I did. Term life insurance policies are for younger people who need to cover their home mortgages and family members who depend upon their incomes. They are affordable, because they are pure life insurance. The rest of your money should be used to invest in higher paying savings vehicles. LOL – if you survived 2008, you may be wonder what those high paying savings vehicles are. I have no idea.
And the problem is, 10, 20, or 30 years passed, and we found that our coverage had expired, but our need for coverage did not magically vanish! We still owed money on our homes because we had purchased a new house or refinanced the old one. Our kids did not follow our schedules. In fact, many of us have our kids and our kid’s kids depending on us now!
Now for the Good News!
But I have good news! Statistics show that Americans are living longer and healthier lives so Insurers are willing to extend insurance to older people at very affordable rates. You can find no medical term life insurance and other over 50 life insurance options to provide security for your family.

Even if you already have a policy, it may still pay to get a life insurance quote. Here’s an example. If you got a $400,000 policy 10 years ago, but now you only need $200,000, you may be able to find a lower rate for the lower amount of coverage. The price difference may save you money that you need now, and that is taking into account the fact your are 10 years older!
Why Do Older People Buy Life Insurance?
- Provide a tax free cash payment to people who depend upon you.
- Provide money for funerals and other final expenses.
- Transfer wealth.
- Protect a business in case an owner or key employee passes away.
- Settle with other surviving members in case one heir will get the business after the current owner dies.
Now insurance rates are local, and you will need to get competive rates in your zip code. We did find price differences between top insurers for the same individual. Go here: Best Life Insurance Quotes Online.
